Scientific paper

This paper presents theoretical and experimental results on convection in a horizontal plane fluid layer rotating along a vertical axis. The results are related to the origin of motions, their spatial scale, and the classification of the regimes of convective motions into regular or irregular motions; with the latter subdivided into geostrophic motions and common thermal turbulence motions. The motion regimes of the following objects were determined: the atmospheric boundary layer, the ocean, the magma chambers within the earth's mantle, the earth's liquid core, Jupiter's atmosphere and interior, the solar granulation, and the accretion disks and neutron stars (i.e., pulsars). Significant geostrophic convection was identified in the terrestrial and Jovian interiors, in fast rotating pulsars, and in accretion disks for which the velocity and the temperature scales are known. In objects other than these, the effect of rotation was found to be smaller.
